Just a quick note to explain task 9 which is new and has been added today.
This is something that we usually cover in class with a couple of lessons but I think you're all more than capable of doing this by yourself so I've added it in as a task for you to complete.
It will allow you to add more content to your blogs and show how much you know (or don't?!) about your chosen genre as well as start to use some technical language of film/media.
We'll go through it in more detail next lesson (though I'd like you to do this for homework if you've done all of the other tasks, but essentially, choose 3 films from your genre and watch the opening few minutes. Then, either by downloading the PDF, making notes or creating your own version of the boxes, fill in with the necessary details. When done, re-upload the completed notes so that all 3 sheets are on your blog.
The next task from this will be to brain-storm the key elements for your film opening based on what you saw in the films, so aim to get the viewing done asap. There are lots of websites where you can view film clips and the start of films, but if you're really struggling come see me early next week.
Thanks!
